@SFTP Ah. There's good and bad... sites that collect a lot of spam will throw it off, probably... but sites with a lot of deleted answers... It's the problem with pure data... what it tells you is uncertain.

That video sucks. Link me a parody next time. If I was going to use a dialtone I would have at least stopped at the point gravity stops near the north pole. Not that you can get there on this flat planet! But whatever, whot was the 5th point of that video? It makes me not want to watch videos anymore. I can't haz type more of this. LOL

@TimPost pinging you about a (minor) bug in Teams. The 'read' indicator for Teams badges in the achievement dialog (i.e. the disappearance of the light blue background) gets reset every time you reload the page: imgur.com/a/2tuo8

@JourneymanGeek Having traveled to India over many years, I can tell you that people in certain areas are just...completely unaware of the international system. I once owned a 5th-grade ("standard V") math workbook from there, and it spent a mere page over the international system, while the entire rest of the book was in the Indian system

@JourneymanGeek yep, insurance. The last ones I saw were far more "uncouth"

Once upon a time there was a valiant knight. He would travel across the land, clad in shining armor, fighting brigands and others nor-do-well in the name of harmony. One fateful day, the knight went to the castle to meet the king and finally bring all the foes he captured to justice. "If I am lucky I will even get a medal", he was thinking as he approached the castle gates. He rang the bell and patiently waited for the gate guards to reply. He waited and waited, but no one answered his plea. Finally, about 6-8 hours later, a loud voice was finally heard as a dragon-like head appeared from …

A short film was created by Ufotable for the Jump Super Anime Tour 2009, with another created for the 2010 tour. The manga has also been adapted into an anime...

@SonicWizard eeewwww, the current code base doesn't support being in two rooms and the simplest hack would be to run 2 instances but that would defeat the carefully designed and implemented throttle-prevention. If that fails not only will the bots no longer be operational, but I would have locked out my self from SE network as well.

@SonicWizard We're going to do an engagement survey for sure, just remains when we'll launch it (currently up in the air about what survey vendor we're going forward with, which is a bit of a wild internal debate as individual teams have their own likes and needs)

swag ... still no swag ... and Apr fools day falls on Easter (so no delivery until next Tuesday the earliest)

Anyone with more experience with Linux Mint than me wants to check this answer? Based on my understanding, this is misleading at least. AFAIK, it should be active by default, so if that user has needed to edit the grub file, it means something must have disabled it beforehand. Maybe he tried installing SElinux?

Had a question closed or downvoted on Stack Overflow? Feel it's proof that its moderators are a bunch of power-hungry, crypto-fascist neckbeards living in their moms' basements?
Head to Meta Stack Overflow and let them know!
How else can they ever learn and change?

@Blue Tag badges show that you have expertise in an area. Reputation shows that you've proven to the community that you know what you're talking about. I have a difficult time imagining SE being willing to verify that someone's actually an "expert" in a subject and grant them a special badge.

Heck, they don't even indicate their own staff.

@Catija Right. Verifying that someone is a expert and actively working in the industry is a difficult task. We would need a blue tick feature like they have on Twitter/Quora etc., which I don't see happening anytime soon. Secondly, it would give some unfair weight-age to the answers/opinions given by the people with those ticks. I wouldn't want SE to replicate that model

I prefer people to vote on the content and judge it irrespective of who is posting

We have a couple of programmes for people that donate time and money to CiviCRM. We'd like to be able to recognise these people when they come to stack exchange.
Is there any way recognise arbitrary people here? Can we add custom fields to stack exchange profiles, for example?

That's arguing, though, that it's not technically possible and that, unless other sites want it, they're unlikely to make it possible... but it's technically possible to add a symbol after a username. It already exists.

@TimPost another Teams bug: in the /users/ page, changing the time period has no effect on the reputation; it just shows the total reputation, not that of the last ${timePeriod}: i.stack.imgur.com/W2Cwx.png

No, list items can span multiple paragraphs:

New bullets can follow.
Nested bullets are the same.
Just match the indentation of the first line past the bullet.

@JeremyBanks That's what I proposed in that post on CiviCRM. Offer badge-enhanced profile pics to whoever you think should have them, they can use them at their discretion.

@Blue Nice update... though, the "let us remove accepts" has been argued and lost repeatedly... so maybe save it for a separate post? If an accepted answer is harmfully incorrect, a moderator can remove it. But we're more likely to get them to stop pinning the accepted answer above the highest voted one than the ability to remove the check mark.

I'd hate for your answer to be downvoted because people disagree with that last paragraph.

@Blue Nope. :) Not for a while, and will probably note list employees at any time in the future. We will, however, be linking it to GitHub, and other resources. Already well into Enterprise accounts so not too worried about that angle too much. I do however want a news section and updates etc. Which we're currently working on. We're also adding a section about the standards and open source work we're doing.
